Miracle!!! Woman Finds Kidney Donor On Facebook

Facebook is usually a place you go to find friends, but a New Port Richey woman went on the social media site to find a kidney. Christine Curti, 50, needed a transplant after she was born with only one kidney. Across the country, in San Diego, CA, Valerie Maupin, 24, wanted to donate a kidney to her friend’s mother, but learned that she wasn’t a match.


“I had 6 people either tested or reviewed and they were all turned down for one reason or another,” Curti said.
Eager to donate, Maupin searched Facebook and contacted a group dedicated to finding kidneys for those in need.

“I’m healthy, I’m young, I’m active, if I can save somebody’s life with just something as simple as this, I should,” Maupin said.
The group helped Maupin and Curti connect with each other. The women then met in Gainesville to test Maupin’s compatibility with Curti. The results were encouraging news; doctors said Maupin and Curti were a good match.

The transplant took place on Nov. 13 and both women, once strangers, now share a bond they say will last a lifetime.
Social media is powerful and can also be used for good so stop all evil….
